Directed by Larry Quiggins, director of the Lindenwood University Theatre Department, the musical concerns madcap antics aboard an ocean liner bound from New York to London. Billy Crocker (Peter Colombatto) is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt (Jenifer Sabbert), who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Liam Hoeh). Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney (DeAnna Jarrell-Massie) and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin (Bobby Stevens) attempt to aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. The musical introduced such songs as “Anything Goes,” “You’re the Top,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You.”
